On Sunday, Jul 11, opposing the Yatra, Rosaiah had told a TV channel that Jaganmohan Reddy needs proper advice and he can dream, aspire and try for the CM's post but there was a method to try and get it.

"Rosaiah reportedly said that I am in a hurry to become the chief minister, I am asking you, am I here to console or to ask for chief minister's post? I have come here to console. I do not understand why there is worry about the chief minister's post. I think we should be ashamed of this politics," Jagan said.

"When I started the Yatra I thought local MLAs would also come with me. I do not understand why consoling is also politicised. Though the MLAs and MPs are not with me their hearts are here. They are sending their family members with me," he added.
